Willyama

Willyama

 

Willyama, a Beneteau First 40, was one of the first casualties of last year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart after tearing her main late in the afternoon of Boxing Day, a disappointing result for her owners. She previously raced to Hobart under her current owners in 2011 and finished 33rd overall and seventh in Division 4. Willyama was originally known as Paca and competed in the 2010 Hobart under that name, finishing 22nd overall to win Division 3. Willyama is preparing for the race in the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron 2015 Spring Series.
